Answer 10

I have been chased by a Rhino and an Elephant.

The Rhino; I was on foot and ran for my life. One of those ‘sneaking up as close as possible, in order to get a photo taken of yourself, almost hugging a Rhino’ I have a picture of it somewhere, the look on my face is priceless.



The Elephant (Kruger National Park); I was a passenger in a car with my cousin driving. She is cripple (but does not really know it and has adapted to driving a normal car by using her one arm to lift her legs and the other to drive. It works perfectly; she has been driving for many years. It was her car)

We saw Elephants so she stopped the car, turned off the engine, and we casually had a look at the Elephants in the bush. One huge guy, with tusks, decided that we are the enemy. He trumpeted and started stampeding towards us. Now anybody else would have probably struggled to start the car, put it into reverse gear and REVERSE the h**l away from the guy, under those circumstances. But she had to start the car, coordinate her arms and legs and gears, while both of us were shouting and giggling hysterically. She managed at the very last moment. What a beautiful memory.

Oddly enough I have strolled and swum around Hippopotamus in St Lucia. They are meant to be very dangerous but they just ignored me.
